HC Deb 25 July 1910 vol 19 c1759
Mr. LONSDALE

asked why the revision court for the polling district of Kildress, near Cookstown, has been fixed for the townland of Dunamore, having regard to the fact that the polling station is at Corvanaghan, which both parties are agreed is most convenient for voters and claimants; and why the representations from residents in the district have been ignored in fixing the place for the revision court?

Mr. BIRRELL

Previous to the Order in Council, dated 15th April, 1910, the revision of the voters for the polling district referred to took place at Cookstown. Representations were made to the Privy Council in favour of holding two new courts, one at Corvanagahan, and the other at Dunamore; but on examination of the facts and after inquiry from the local police and officials, it was decided that it would be inexpedient to hold two courts, and that Dunamore was the more convenient place to select.
